ExpressionEngine v1.3 Upgrade

Over the weekend I upgraded to ExpressionEngine v1.3. The upgrade went very smoothly and I have to say I’m very impressed with the improvements that have been made - definitely the best blogging software around right now for running a community orientated blog like this. I’ve also bought, downloaded and installed the forums module which has been released with EE v1.3 so I will be bringing the OracleAppsForum online today. If you are a member of the blog please go and update your membership details with your picture and a signature (for use in the forums)

The mail I received from pMachine (the designer’s of ExpressionEngine) outlines the new features:

pMachine is pleased to announce that ExpressionEngine 1.3 and our new Discussion Forum Module have been released.

ExpressionEngine Version 1.3 delivers great new features, a significantly enhanced membership system, a completely redesigned control panel, and support for our brand new Discussion Forum Module.

EE 1.3 now features spell checking, a new user-friendly control panel, and major member management enhancements including private messaging, member signatures, avatars, and member photos. In addition, version 1.3 adds some great new features like a tab manager, and our new “updated sites” module enabling other sites to “ping” your site when they have updated their content.
